The latest liberal cause célèbre is the "humanitarian crisis" of "genocide" in Darfur.  It is very difficult to find on this earth a more remote wasteland having no connection whatever to American interests than this patch of the Sahara Desert in western Sudan. 

But of course, that is precisely why liberals are so hysterical about it.

The first thing to understand is that there are no Christians in Darfur.  They're in the south, Darfur is way over there in the west.  The conflict, which started in 2003, is between camel-herding nomads and farmers in the desert - both of whom are Moslem.

The Darfur Conflict is purely Moslem:  Moslem versus Moslem.  No Christians are involved.  It is strictly Moslem tribal warfare.

The infamous "Janjaweed" militias of nomadic Abbala tribesmen are all Moslem.  The Fur, Zaghawa, and Massaleit farming tribes they are attacking are all Moslem. 

Moreover, there is not one side versus another.  It's chaotic tribal warfare between dozens and dozens of tribes who are continuously switching sides - sometimes right in the middle of a battle.

If there is anyplace in the world that America has no interest being involved in, this is it.

George W. Bush may be historically recorded as America's most frustratingly puzzling president.  He is fundamentally a decent man, a genuine Christian with enormous moral courage.  This is what infuriates the Left about him.

It is his incomprehensible blind spots that drive conservatives around the bend.  The one regarding illegal immigration is the worst, with many saying impeachably so.  His refusal to destabilize Iran, which most likely will cause the Iraq War to be lost, is another.

Yet with other geopolitical issues, he sees with astounding foresight and clarity.  The best example is India.  The first thing he asked Condi, when she became his National Security Advisor, was about India.  She hadn't thought about it.

"Biggest democracy in the world, only country in Asia capable of standing up to China," he explained.  "I want a plan from you on how we develop a military, political, and economic alliance with India."  Condi said she'd get right on it.

"Oh, yes," he added, "make sure it includes support for military cooperation between India and Israel."

Today is November 9^th.  It is a very special day in the history of the world.  No, not because it's my birthday.  Because on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell.  Today is World Freedom Day.

It seems so long ago, doesn't it?  Yet for anyone who isn't still a kid,  the fear of the Soviet Union, the tyranny and genocidal oppression inflicted by the Soviets upon so much of the world, epitomized by the Berlin Wall, is what we grew up with.  Hardly anyone could even imagine it going away.

I'm recalling this history because it comes to mind now that there is a new inevitable doom engulfing Europe.  Like the Soviet Union, it can't be resisted, Europe's fate is sealed, blah, blah, blah.  This is, of course, the inevitable transformation of Europe into Eurabia, the inescapable submission of Europe to Islam.

The problem is serious.  The Soviet threat was very, very real, and so is that of Islam.  But problems are not important.  Only solutions to them are.  By focusing on the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the Soviet Communists, we were able to defeat them.  We can do the same with the Islamic Fascists..

If you're familiar with the Reconquista plan of the Mexican Aztlan movement (to reconquer the Southwest US "stolen" by America in the 19^th century), this may sound like déjà vu all over again.  Yet however bad you think our illegal immigrant problem is, it's pipsqueak compared to Russia's in Siberia.

As a news story in mid-October (10/16) by Russia's only independent television station, Ren TV, reported from Vladivostok:

The emerging demographic situation developing here between Russia and China is simply catastrophic. The crisis is due to the creeping expansion of thousands of Chinese migrants. Chinese workers entering Siberia are replacing Russians who are not prepared to toil 12 hours a day for a pittance. 

Chinese students are taught that Siberia is their land, stolen from China in the 19^th century.  It is suspected by many Russians here that China is subsidizing the migration of its citizens.  Demographers predict that by 2025 Chinese will be the Russian Far East's predominant ethnic group.  Then, it is feared, they will gain the right to vote and demand union with China.
